Someone cut the majority of the Ukraine flag down off our building. They had to have had scissors and some kind of a ladder to do it, so it wouldn't have been a spur of the moment thing. Not expecting the city to do anything; just wanted to let you know in case there were other incidences of vandalism that might be similar and help in identifying a person or pattern. Thanks!
Why was feedback on the mural at 11th & rogers only asked for with simply one design submitted? And to that point, why was feedback submitted not taken? Public sees absolutely no changes to the proposed design and leaves us feeling the same way when the gateway was decided unilaterally at miller park. At least in that instance council stepped in to halt the design. Is the artwork at hopewell going to be treated the same way? Public feedback submitted but has no impact on actual result for our neighborhoods and city? Disappointing.
Concern Regarding Unusual Activity and Property Conditions Next to My Business Dear City Official, Good Morning, I am reaching out to express my concern about some recent developments at the property located next to my business at 811 N Walnut St. Since new residents moved in, there has been a noticeable increase in unusual activity that is negatively impacting the appearance and environment around my business. Specifically, the residents have been leaving trash overflowing into the alley, some of which is spilling over onto my property. This not only creates a messy and unsanitary environment but also makes a poor impression on my clients as they arrive at my business. Additionally, there are two cars at the property: one that does not appear to be running and another that is frequently being worked on. There are also cars frequently pulling up in the alley, where individuals from the house briefly interact with the vehicles before returning inside. The overall condition of the property and the ongoing activity is concerning, and I would appreciate your assistance in addressing this issue. As a business owner, it is important to me that the surrounding environment reflects positively on the area, and I believe this situation is detracting from that. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please let me know if any additional information is needed.
AT&T has two dead trees in front of its building. They have been dead so long one has splintered from rot and is now on the ground in numerous shards right next to the sidewalk.
Painting on building is a signagy for business.
Says promised traffic calming devices have not been installed. Were told they'd go in right away (6th St). Says City Landscaper told him no one discussed watering of greenery with him. Says City departments aren't coordinating and work isn't getting done.
Sidewalk on Maple from 5th to 6th was recently replaced. While it needed to be replaced, this was a historic sidewalk as are many on the west side. Policy should be developed to preserve historic sidewalks in original condition when repairing/replacing.
She's at Walnut & Wylie. Why hasn't anything been done about Wylie Street in a month or more? She's losing business and Wylie Street residents are using her parking lot.
Mr. Madsen called to express his concern about the efficiency of tax money on the sidewalk sweeper the City just purchased. He believes the City merchants should sweep their own sidewalks, and in the winter should shovel their own walks to better promote people to use the dowtown area. This was just a general complaint to voice his concern.
